John C. Kunkel (R Pa) Harris burg, banker and member of the House Banking and Currency Committee, has introduced a bill which he said would cut in half the money called for in the interim aid proposal and yet provide trance with more emergency funds than is now planned. Kunkel, who visited Europe this summer with a Congressional group, proposed that the U. S. Treasury be empowered to dis close to the French government information on assets in the United States held by French Nationals and corporations.

"Should the French govern ment," Kunkel said yesterday, "successfully mobilize an impor tant part of the assets in the United States held by French Nationals, they could be pledged as security for a collateral loan of such size that it would materially reduce, if not eliminate entirely, the need for the United States advancing $328,000,000 to France as proposed under the interim aid program.

The man who wrote that sentence had begun life not as a starveling but as a member of a French noble family. Yet he could not find words enough to express this preference for America.

Enthusiastically he wrote to lofty European friends of this new world "of fair cities, substantial villages, extensive fields" and above all of this new system "we have no princes we are the most perfect society now existing in the world." The letters he wrote are really a song of America song of Thanksgiving for it and they have, of course, become literature. The contrasts he describes between the Old World and the New, have become today even more marked. And the concept he had of America has become an even truer reality "Americans are the western pilgrims, who are carrying along with them that great mass of arts, sciences, vigor and industry which began long since in. the east: they will finish the great circle At Thanksgiving time, it is thrilling to read the profound appreciation this early American had for his America, and to feel the same emotion strong in our own hearts, deepened, if anything, by the rushing history of the present hour. For Thanksgiving in America today has a greater significance than ever.
